Light is so much a part of the language of all of our minds. We use it as a metaphor for all that is good, positive, wholesome, and informed. Think of the word 'enlightened' ' one of the highest compliments you can pay someone is to say their very selves have become like light! We talk about lighting up somebody's life ' and also having an inner light, shining through, and lighting up a room when you walk into it. So it is not surprising that light is an essential part of any Feng Shui practice!
